That's not a galah in the pic eating peppercorns, that's a female gang-gang cockatoo.
- You're quite right. That is not a Galah. I would suggest the photo be removed from this page. Kiwifruitboi 28 June 2005 08:57 (UTC)
- Has it been removed?
Apart from feather colours, the galah cockatoo and the goffin's cockatoo (a white cockatoo) are physically very similar occording to my own observations of pet birds. Is DNA data of the goffin's cockatoo available for comparison?

[edit] Images
The images look great on this article. But they break the flow of the page badly. If they are moved to the bottom of the page, it might make things a bit better? - Kiwifruitboi 02:01, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
It would be good to have a close-up picture showing the bird from head to toe in the tax box. Snowman 13:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. There did used to be a full-length picture of the bird but IIRC it was deleted as a copyvio. If anyone has a photo they wouldn't mind releasing (a pet bird would suffice), that would be very cool... --Kurt Shaped Box 13:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recipe
I've seen more than enough joke recipes along the lines of "throw galah in pot, add rocks, boil until rocks are soft, eat galah" (or occasionally "discard galah, eat rocks") to wonder if this deserves a mention. Kinitawowi 10:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Propably not, though I will say from experience that there is truth in the joke - Galahs do not exactly make a great meal. Kangaroo, on the other hand...... Churba 13:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Hay echidna tasts better than kangaroo, havn't tried Galah yet though. Enlil Ninlil 05:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Capitalisation
Is there a reason the name is capitalised? Lomaprieta 12:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Recent copyedit changed to British spelling, as 1) it's an article about an Australian animal, and 2) the first edit to use a word spelled differently between the UK and the US (recognise) used the British version. I also went ahead and removed the capitalisation. Lomaprieta 01:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reassessed
Reassessed Ozproject - seems closer to the wikibird's rating than a start article. jimfbleak 13:40, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
